Kia Cadenza YG: Head lamp leveling Device / Auto Head lamp leveling Unit Description and Operation

Kia Cadenza YG 2016-2021 Service Manual / Body Electrical System / Head lamp leveling Device / Auto Head lamp leveling Unit Description and Operation

Description
According to driving environment and loading state of vehicle, head lamp lighting direction is changed to keep the driver''s visibility range and to protect the driver''s vision from glare, aiming at safety driving.
Sensor mounting on the rear center arm drives the actuator mounting on the head lamp since sensing the input signal following the vehicle''s statical changes.
Head lamp beam is automatically operated by chassis tilt.
Purpose of AHLS(Auto Headlamp Leveling System)
•
Compensation of headlamp visual range for changes in vehicle load.
•
Preventing oncoming traffic being blinded by excessive glare.
•
Meeting regulation
Operation
